Questions for Staff and Applicant
Daniel Kubiak
• Compared the proposal to prior concepts for the same site, stating this appears
to be the least intense use presented so far.
• Asked whether the City would later provide guidance on:
o Neighborhood entrance location along Davis Blvd.
o Alignment with median breaks and future access planning.
• Later expressed strong preference for the RPUD plan, noting:
o Single-family residential is preferable to more intense permitted uses.
o Preservation of trees and residential buffering is a win for the surrounding
neighborhood.
• Assumed (and later confirmed) that the project would honor city trail/pathway
connections on the west side.
• Encouraged articulation and design quality along the long Davis Blvd. frontage,
including walls, fencing, and landscaping.
• Emphasized consistency with surrounding lot sizes as an important evaluation
factor.

Dennis Killough
• Explained that Mixed Use is the broadest land use category in the City.
• Stated that mixed use allows flexibility for residential or commercial components
depending on context.
• Noted that for infill tracts, the key question is how the development transitions
between intensities of use.
• Confirmed that:
o Primary access must align with a future median break on Davis Blvd.
o Secondary access must meet spacing standards.
o TxDOT is moving forward with a divided median plan for this section of
Davis Blvd.
Frances Scharli
• Asked about tree preservation, particularly on specific lots.
• Expressed concern about density, stating it still feels high.
• Encouraged the applicant to reduce lot count where possible.
• Later agreed with other commissioners’ preference for the RPUD plan.
David Cunningham
• Expressed strong support for the RPUD plan.
• Praised:
o Central green park layout.
o Tree preservation.
o Respect for natural drainage patterns.

o Consistent setbacks (front, rear, and side).
o Adequate spacing between homes.

Meeting #54 – January 28, 2026 Page 5
o Ensuring building envelopes reflect actual lot coverage limits.
Austin Reynolds
• Agreed that the RPUD plan is preferred, especially due to green space.
• Emphasized that success of the project depends heavily on Davis Blvd. frontage
treatment.
• Encouraged exploring:
o Combining certain lots to create varied lot sizes (¼ acre, ⅓ acre, possibly
½ acre).
o Greater diversity in lot configuration to reduce perceived density.
• Raised concerns about setbacks from Davis Blvd., noting past projects where
minimal setbacks caused issues.
• Recommended clearly delineating buffers, landscaping, and building setbacks
from Davis Blvd.
Applicant
Explained that a prior proposal for the site—a senior living facility—was denied in 2024,
largely due to height concerns (four to five stories).
• Stated that nearby HOAs and neighbors support single-family residential for this
site.
• Confirmed coordination with TxDOT, noting:
o Median breaks align with the proposed main entrance.
o Southern access could be limited to fire access only.
o Right-turn-only movements are anticipated.
• Confirmed the project complies with the TZD overlay.
• Highlighted project metrics:
o Over 20% open space under the TZD plan.
o Nearly 35% open space under the RPUD plan.
• Explained that surrounding lots range from 10,000–15,000 sq. ft., with some
larger legacy lots nearby.

• Stated the proposal fits the existing neighborhood character in terms of lot size
and layout.
• Responded to tree preservation questions:
o Trees line both sides of the driveway and are a key reason for the
centralized open space design.
o Goal is to save as many existing trees as possible.
o Side-yard trees and green space buffers will be preserved where feasible.
• Confirmed commitment to:
o Trails and amenities.
o Gazebo and green space features.
o Extensive landscaping.
• Addressed Davis Blvd. frontage:
o Proposed masonry walls, green screening, and landscaping.
o Acknowledged grade drop from Davis to the creek makes commercial use
impractical.
o Emphasized beautification of Davis Blvd. for both residents and the public.
• Acknowledged feedback on reducing density and combining lots where feasible.
• Noted the working project name “Bear Hollow,” referencing the partners’ Baylor
connection.
• Confirmed setbacks and house pads shown are conceptual and based on
ordinance requirements, with final designs to include articulation and reduced
coverage.
